Best Electricity Provider in QLD

Canstar may earn a fee from its Online Partners for referrals from its website tables, and from sponsorship or promotion of certain products.

If you proceed with an energy plan through CIMET’s platform, Canstar and CIMET may each receive a referral fee.

Fees payable by product providers for referrals and sponsorship or promotion may vary between providers, website position, and revenue model. Sponsorship/promotion fees may be higher than referral fees.

If a product is sponsored or promoted, it’s an ad and it is clearly marked as such. An ad might appear in different places on our website, such as in comparison tables and articles. Ads may be displayed in a fixed position in a table, regardless of the product's rating, price or other attributes. The location of an ad doesn’t indicate any ranking or rating by Canstar. Payment of fees for ads does not influence Customer Satisfaction Ratings. See How We Get Paid to find out more.

The energy comparison platform is provided by CIMET Sales Pty Ltd ABN 72 620 395 726 (“CIMET”). You may have been directed to this page by an SMS. This SMS was sent by CIMET Sales Pty Ltd. CIMET’s platform does not compare all brands in all the market, or all products offered by all brands. At times certain brands or products may not be available or offered to you. Currently the service is available in NSW, ACT, SA, VIC, parts of QLD, TAS & WA (only gas). It is not available in Ergon Area (QLD), NT, and embedded networks, or non-quotable meters. Neither Canstar nor CIMET supply energy or gas plans. If you decide to apply for a particular energy product, you will deal directly with the retailer. Fees, charges, plan information and contract terms may change at the provider’s sole discretion. 

For products shown above on this page, the data in the table is updated within 24 hours of Canstar becoming aware of a change. You can find a description of the initial sort order below the table.

The products shown above do not include all energy retailers or products in the market and may not compare all features relevant to you. Canstar does not supply electricity or gas services. If you decide to apply for a particular energy product, you will deal directly with the retailer, not with Canstar.

Some plans may require you to meet certain conditions before a discount may become available to you. Check the energy provider’s plan information for details of all possible discounts that may apply and any conditions that need to be met for you to be eligible for these discounts.

Sometimes we may display special or bonus offers on our website. These offers are not provided by Canstar. We recommend you confirm the availability of the offer with the product provider prior to applying for any product.

Check your current plan's exit fees and other termination provisions before changing providers.

Some plans may have a minimum term that is longer than one year. In that case the total cost over the term will be much higher than the estimated Price, which is for one year only. Consider the provider’s detailed product and pricing information before making a decision to take out a new plan or switch electricity providers.

For products shown above on this page, the estimated price/year shown is inclusive of GST and is either the estimated lowest possible price a representative customer would be charged in one year for this plan, assuming all conditions of discounts offered (if any) have been met, based on the annual usage assumption in the distribution region as shown at the top of the table.

The estimated price is based on single rate tariffs, which may also be known as ‘peak tariffs’, ‘peak only’ or ‘anytime’ tariffs, and, if applicable, controlled load tariffs, which may also be known as ‘controlled any time’, ‘controlled load 1’ or ‘controlled load 2’.

For energy plans displayed after completing the question-and-answer journey on this comparison platform, CIMET updates plan information as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of changes advised by the retailer. Updates are applied in accordance with the effective date provided by the retailer. Plans are sorted by default from lowest to highest based on estimated monthly, yearly, or bill-day costs.
